Packed up quickly this morning under threatening clouds. Turns out no rain came of it.
Off to Lyndoch - loads of traffic - workers, school drop-off etc. Fortunately there was a wide road shoulder for the whole way.
After Lyndoch things quietened down on the roads as I turned for Williamstown. It was good getting out of the relatively industrial Barossa and into some quiet Hills country.
After a calories stop in Williamstown, through to Kersbrook, I passed by full reservoirs, big gums, the odd pine forest...overall a great ride. Lots of water in the reservoirs for my vegi patch when I get home.
Lots of signs suggesting drivers should lookout for bikes for the next few hundred meters. What about the rest of the trip?
After Kersbrook I was onto Gorge road and in familiar day ride territory, and after a bit of a grind up past the Kangaroo Creek dam it was a long downhill into the start of the suburbs and a long slow grind through the traffic with my single low gear.
Through familiar streets, past the kids school, and home. Long shower and sit on a comfy chair...bliss.
But the city stank, too much concrete, too much traffic, too many people. At least those who I really wanted to see would be home soon.
